Text/Character Data type

We also expect a data type for textual content, characters, words, sentences and paragraphs. Many languages have a data type for a single character, just one letter at a time, but what's typically more desirable is a larger amount of text. This is what in programming is called a string.

A string is a collection of characters all strung together in a sequence.

Strings are very easy to create, but it's worth considering that a string is more complex for the computer than a number or a Boolean. It’s simply because we don't really know how big it is.
